The stake has an additional purpose in allowing Gabriel to open floor-oriented wheel cranks that are without a crowbar. Due to the attachment being made specifically for destroying vampires, it gave the Combat Cross the nickname of 'Vampire Killer'. Gandolfi wanted to give the Cross more options for hand-to-hand combat, leading to his adding a stake to its bottom. While searching for a way into the Wygol Village abbey, Gabriel finds an Order mausoleum in the village cemetery which contains the Stake addition. Contrary to popular belief, the Spiked Chain does not increase the amount of damage that Gabriel deals. The 1 1/2 inch long spikes allow Gabriel to saw through wooden obstacles with ease, but an added benefit allows him to 'tame' large enemies that can be ridden on like mounts. But instead of destroying the chain, he hid it away. Gandolfi made two different chains, although the Order elders disapproved of the Spiked Chain, deeming it too cruel for such a holy weapon. The second addition that Gabriel finds is the Spiked Chain, which is found in the underground caves leading to Agharta. It is also used to grab enemies from a distance. The articulated metal tip can be used as a grappling hook, allowing Gabriel to climb, swing, and rappel around the environment. It was also added to increase the Vampire Killer's combat effectiveness.ДЄs Gabriel wanders through the Dead Bog, he finds the mausoleum containing the Hook Tip addition. Forged of cast iron, then drenched in holy water and blessed, the chain whip is very effective against the evil creatures that roam the countryside.
